Johnathon. . . . . According to an old dictionary it's. . . AN NIX (there's a space between the n's ) Relates to being in chronology order . . . . . Arrangement of events according to their dates...... MIKE.

Hi I dont know if it is any help but there are people with the surname Annix listed on pallots marriage index. If you have their date of birth perhaps you could check on freeBMD or 1837. Sue

Hi, I have seen an old family document. Single side of hand written notes from Victorian times (circa 1840-1870). It appears to be a list of names, the top being my GGGGrandmother, followed by a list of her children and nieces and nephews with their dates of birth. different surnames obviously , but 2 children have the word 'annix' rather than a surname. At first I thought their surname was annix, but it seems unlikely and also its got a lower case a, whereas all the other surnames have a capital first letter. Perhaps it's Victorian for ditto, same as above or , given I have no record of either child, might it be shorthand for died at birth. Not very sympathetic sounding. Anyone seen the term used in this fashion ? best wishes Jonathan Ives
